Hi guys, Trying to get my Atv working while i'm running a VPN on my host machine.  I've googled, read over the forums, and the solutions have so far not worked for me.  Ultimately I would like to have it up and running regardless of having the VPN on or off if that's possible.  Hoping you guys can provide some insight.   - Your ATV model?  3.  Software 7.0.2 - The DNS server set on the ATV (found under the ATV settings \> general \> network \> DNS): 192.1.168.100 (host machine local IP) - The local IP address of the device that PlexConnect is installed on: 192.1.168.100 - The device and operating system (including version number) that PlexConnect is installed on: PC Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 - The device and operating system (including version number) that the Plex media server (PMS) is installed on: Same - The Plex media server (PMS) version number you are running ( **do not put 'latest'** ): 0.9.11.4.739 - The local IP address of the device that the Plex media server (PMS) is installed on: 192.168.1.100 - The PlexConnect version number. If using Github source then a time and date of download (look at the creation date of the folder) and if you are using any non-standard setup e.g. Plexify or a fork. date 12/01/2014 - The contents of your 'Settings.cfg' file (this is created at first clean shutdown of PlexConnect, using CTR+c) - [PlexConnect] enable\_plexgdm = False ip\_pms = 192.168.178.10 port\_pms = 32400 enable\_dnsserver = True port\_dnsserver = 53 ip\_dnsmaster = 209.18.47.61 prevent\_atv\_update = True enable\_plexconnect\_autodetect = False ip\_plexconnect = 192.168.1.100 hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com port\_webserver = 80 enable\_webserver\_ssl = True port\_ssl = 443 certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem loglevel = Normal logpath = .   Thanks. ---

Looks like it doesn't want me to use my ISP's DNS.  Changing it to Google seems to have done the trick.  Thanks. ---
